[QUOTE=brujaja] George Bush has a **band** now? Horror of horrors!! What will they call their live album? Because Black Sabbath has **already done** an album called, “Live Evil”!! [/QUOTE] Now I think I see what you are getting at! **Official guess: brujaja must include an anagram (ie. ‘ambles’/‘blames’ or ‘live evil’) in her posts.** ---

[QUOTE=Left Hand of Dorkness] My favorite is cats. Whenever I bake pies, I take a little bit of the unbaked crust and feed it to my cats. They’re weird, because feeding them salmon results in fish-growls, but when I feed them the unbaked crust, they make wonderful noises of contentment. Daniel [/QUOTE] Cats are nice, aren’t they? I enjoy a good pie - but I wouldn’t pick salmon as a flavour of pie, personally. If I had been able to vote, I would have voted for peach or strawberry rhubarb. Who’s your favourite novelist? Filmmaker? ---

[QUOTE=Santo Rugger] I’m going to put an official guess up there, and if I’m wrong, hopefully **Oredigger** can save me again. **Wargamer thinks he’s in the Game Room.** [/QUOTE] Oddly enough – _he is in the Game Room!_ Kinda paradoxical, eh? But, yes, he’s a Game Room fanatic. ---

Anyone want to talk Star Trek? I think my favorite series was Next Generation. TOS was really good of course but I found DS9 to be a bit boring at times. Now, Voyager was fun but I know a lot of people found it the least palatable. (I never really watched Enterprise…the look of the series annoyed me) ---

You know, before the party started, I resolved not to use dog/ God & live/ evil, on the grounds that they were too obvious. But the notion of George Bush having a band was just too much for me to resist! Well played. ---

See, the problem I always had with Star Trek is that even though it was supposed to be a military vessel, everyone was always put together so perfectly: nice hair, clean (if ill-fitting) uniforms, and they acted as if they got to _sleep_ once in a while. Ask any _real_ starfleet veteran and they’ll tell you that the only way to make it through a shift is with an espresso hypospray and hourly doses of whiskey. 😃 ---

**Daphne** , I’m not much for knowing filmmakers’ names, but I can tell you what movies I like. For example: [QUOTE=Antinor01] Anyone want to talk Star Trek? I think my favorite series was Next Generation. TOS was really good of course but I found DS9 to be a bit boring at times. Now, Voyager was fun but I know a lot of people found it the least palatable. (I never really watched Enterprise..the look of the series annoyed me) [/QUOTE] The good thing about all of them was the phasers, if you ask me. Coolest thing ever. Which is also why I love **Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow**. Any movie with that “pew! pew! pew!” sound (Star Wars is another) fills me with gladness. I’m sure I’ve seen 19 or 20 different fashions of this laserbeam-theme in movies, and it’s always something fresh and new. Daniel ---

I rather liked the original series. Especially the women’s uniforms. They all looked like go-go dancers. ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] **Inner Stickler** , do you enjoy reading Almanacs or the works of Confucius? [/QUOTE] Almanacs are dry reading. But Confucius has pithy sayings. I like succinct teachings. ---

[QUOTE=DaphneBlack] Kirk or Picard? [/QUOTE] Picard totally. Partially because Patrick Stewart is just a better actor and seemed more real to me. Shatner seemed like he just had to be “the star” of the show and I didn’t like that as well. Picard could fight and seduce as well as as Kirk, but had a host of other skills to draw on that just made him more convincing to me as the captain of the flagship of the Federation. ---

I like Picard better. But then, Next Generation was airing during my teen years, so I watched it often enough to know what was going on and like the characters, and I’ve only watched a handful of episodes from TOS. I did watch early seasons of Deep Space 9, but only bits and pieces of the first season or so of Voyager. I’ll admit it, I’m a little bit lazy when it comes to watching stuff on TV. If it airs on a broadcast network during a time frame which is convenient for me, I may watch it. But if it doesn’t I probably can’t be bothered to seek it out. 🙂 ---
